The song 'Go the Distance' I do not own and all their rights go to their owners this song is fantastic and has to be included.
Chapter 18 The Heroes Ball.
Most of the town is at the Heroes Ball dancing the night way celebrating the defeat of the Black Fairy.
Back in the repaired Gold pawnshop we have Gideon restocking counters in the store and sorting through boxes.
Gideon had thought he locked the door but is proved wrong when the shop door opens and Robin enters wearing a small emerald green coloured dress with matching heels.
"I thought you didn't get paid for overtime," Robin commented making Gideon turn to face the door and sees Robin standing.
"I don't I'm just keeping busy and being in the Lost Realm did make me late for work a lot," Gideon replies before returning to stocking the counters.
"Why aren't you dressed for the ball everyone's already there,"? Robin asks.
"I'm not going," Gideon said.
"Wait, of course, you're coming we have to the ball is all about celebrating the heroes of Storybrooke," Robin spoke as she walked straight up to Gideon.
"Then it's good I'm not going," Gideon says before putting one of the boxes to one side.
"Is this because what happened at the sheriff station,"? Robin questions.
"Emma told you didn't she," Gideon replies.
"Gideon, we're family, of course, she told me," Robin says.
"I just don't want to be around people where it might happen again," Gideon admitted.
"Oh, Gideon nothing is going to happen we all be there," Robin said.
"But ..." Gideon spoke, however, Robin interrupts him.
"No, butts now tell that little voice in your head to shut up if he knows what's good for him because wicked always wins," Robin spoke making Gideon smile for a second.
"I don't have a choice do I," Gideon replied.
"You, really are your parent's child," Robin chuckles.
Gideon soon found himself wearing a light blue shirt with no tie, grey trousers and black shoes.
Robin and Gideon make their way to the ball where they would meet Rick, Hazel and Prue.
Neither Robin or Gideon wanted to discuss the events that occurred with Fiona.
All they wanted was to get this night over with and just have things go back to normal.
Gideon and Robin arrive at where the ball is being held and meet Rick, Hazel and Prue outside the building.
Hazel is wearing a white dress with a branch pattern over it and some heels and her style
to one side.
While Rick is wearing a black suit and tie and his hair is styled in spikes.
"You, guys ready,"? Prue asks.
"I think we are let's hope this ball doesn't get cut short," Rick said.
"If only," Gideon commented and then five teens make their way to the ballroom only to have to stop to be introduced by the two most important people in Storybrooke.
On stage, we have Emma and Regina standing together.
The two stand near a microphone ready to introduce the people this ball is dedicated to.
"We would like to thank everyone for coming tonight even when it was short noticed," Regina says.
"Tonight is a night of celebration we brought down the Black Fairy as a community and five new heroes were discovered among the cachous," Emma spoke.
"If it wasn't for these five new heroes the curse Walsh cast would have taken us to a world of suffering and helped us bring down a villain who has abused, kidnapped countless children for over three centuries," Regina said.
"So it is with great honour that we welcome home Rick Riding Hood, Robin Hood Mills, Prue, Hazel and Gideon Gold French," Emma says and after she finished her sentence the five teens enter the ballroom.
What surprised everyone and worried Regina the most is that there no live band or performer on stage!
Robin quickly leads Gideon onto the stage where Emma and Regina are standing.
Regina is the first to speak out of the four.
"Robin, you said that you had the artist ready to perform for the ball," Regina says.
"I do," Robin replies.
"Where is this artist,"? Regina asks.
"Right here," Robin said as she shoves Gideon up to the microphone.
"Gideon is your artist," Emma commented.
"Robin, what are you talking about I don't sing," Gideon replies looking directly at his friend.
"It's time to stop hiding your gift from the world Giddy, auntie Regina can you please conjure an enchanted band," Robin spoke and within a second Regina made a gesture conjuring an enchanted band Emma and Regina then walk off the stage.
"I so hate you Robin for this," Gideon said.
"No, you don't Giddy you're just mad I didn't do it sooner," Robin replies before walking off stage.
"Wow, there a lot of you well ... I guess I'll be singing Go the Distance from the Disney movie Hercules," Gideon says and a few seconds later the enchanted band starts playing the soundtrack to Go the Distance apart from the lyrics Gideon takes a deep breath before he starts singing the song Gideon finds himself becoming more confident as the song goes on and everyone in the audience is shocked and overjoyed with the performance none other than his family.
Elizabeth the only living aunt of Rumple is stood next to her nephew, his eldest and his wife.
The Gold family can't believe the voice Gideon has and how long he has hidden it from them.
Belle and Gold have so many mixed feelings about this song what other talents has he hidden from them?
"Gideon's voice is remarkable," Elizabeth comments.
"That he is aunt Elizabeth," Rumple replies.
"I can't believe he hid this from us," Belle says.
"Children hide a lot of things but also tell us a lot of things when they do hide such talents," Elizabeth spoke.
